Mark Bellingham drew heavy criticism in Germany when reportedly seeking out BVB coach Niko Kovac after he substituted Jobe at halftime of their 3-3 draw with St Pauli this season.

Former West Ham striker Hurst told The Sun: "A thing that’s irritated me is a picture in one of the papers about the most powerful man in English football — and it’s Jude Bellingham’s father.

“He was complaining when his son was taken off in a game — and that is an absolute joke.

“If you don’t eradicate that kind of thing, that is an absolute disgrace.”
